This is 01 the first Lightweight done by Ford Advanced Vehicle and Alan Mann Racing, it has an aluminum chassis and in the restored car a small block with Webers, I am building 02 the Big Block with Webers that was disqualified after practice for being too fast , Thank You FIA>>> It is going up to Auction so they provided a nice photo spread. I am doing a scratchbuilt 1/16 scale model and have been stalled at the body work in front of the rear wheels for a while, The scoop is done but looking at the MK-I rear body they made the sides Flat so removing the contour has been problematic. it is getting closer to the return to work stage so more to come... www.ultimatecarpage.com/chassis/4086/Ford-GT40--AM-Lightweight--AM-GT-1.html |

 This is the area I have been fussing with, I made the scoops and cut away the rear clam shell from the middle of the wheel well forward and am making new flat pieces to mate with the center body/door jam area. I had to flatten the doors also. complex when you are converting it from contour to flat.. cant find the pics right now later... Chris |

Chris,
Knowing your skill level, I can't wait to see the pictures, they should be something special for sure.
